Ameco AC-1 on the Air

[Freeberg, Scott (STP)]

I received my new crystals last week and put the Ameco AC-1 on 40 meters
last night.  It works great!  I can't believe it.  I made two cw
contacts on the qrp freq 7040 Khz with Nebraska and Michigan and
received a 569 and a 559.  It ran about 5 watts output.  The tone was
reported to be good, some key click though.

Not bad for a peanut whistle that is 30 some years old.  Heck, not bad
for a transmitter that consists of two tubes and maybe 9 parts.
